What to expect
IT’S A RAT-EAT-RAT WORLD . . .
Every town on Discworld knows the stories about rats and pipers, and Maurice – a streetwise tomcat – leads a band of educated ratty friends (and a stupid kid) on a nice little earner. Piper plus rats equals lots and lots of money.
Until they run across someone playing a different tune.
Now he and his rats must learn a new concept: evil . . .
Critics Review
Ethically challenging, beautifully orchestrated, philosophically opposed to the usual plot fixes of fantasy
The GuardianSimply gripping story-telling
The TimesPowerful, passionate, mordantly funny and, at one point, unbearably sad
Daily TelegraphAn astonishing novel…I marvelled at the ferociousness of the humour, and the willingness to go into dark places
Financial TimesGreat yarn written in fairly simple text
